With the arrival to the Nationalist Spain of Ildebrando Antoniutti, sent by the Holy See with the apparent mission to repatriate the republican Basque children in exile, it was opened a diplomatic rapprochement through the Holy See and Franco, but the Apostolic Delegate launched also the repatriation of hundred of children. We analyse here different aspects of this non bloody but real fight: the battle for the children. All around Europe there were institutions promoting the return of the children to Spain and other institutions opposing it. This paper, using documentation of the Archivo Gomá, the archive of the Spanish Ministries of Foreign Affairs —both Francoist and Republican— and the Archivio Segreto Vaticano, discuss the diplomatic clash that took place in Europe during the Spanish Civil War, with the children as passive protagonists. This article anticipates a forthcoming book about the role of the Holy See in the repatriation of the Basque children during the Spanish Civil War. ; Con la llegada a la España nacional de Ildebrando Antoniutti, enviado por la Santa Sede con la aparente misión humanitaria de ayudar a repatriar a los niños vascos exiliados en 1937, se abrió un período de acercamiento diplomático, pero también se puso en marcha lo que justificaba su presencia en España: repatriar a los niños. Se analizan aquí distintos aspectos de lo que fue una verdadera batalla diplomática, con niños de fondo, a partir de documentación del Archivo Gomá, del archivo del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores —franquista y republicano— y del Archivo Secreto Vaticano. El artículo anticipa una próxima monografía sobre el papel de la Santa Sede en la repatriación de los niños durante la guerra civil española.
